Modern-Day Plague Deforestation is clearing Earth’s forests on a massive scale‚ often resulting in damage to the quality of the land. Forests still cover about 30 percent of the world’s land area‚ but swaths the size of Panama are lost each and every year. The world’s rain forests could completely vanish in a hundred years at the current rate of deforestation. Forests are cut down for many reasons‚ but most of them are related to money or to people’s need to provide for their families.The biggest

Stop Pollution: A Way of Saving Earth Since the rise of the advancement of awkward prepositional phrasing technology‚ pollution had already started its harm as well; awkward phrasing (personification?) from the dropping of the first atomic bomb‚ which results to land‚ water‚ and air pollution‚ to the industrialized world that pollutes the entire earth.

Demko Maria Eng 101 – ASSIGNMENT №3 December 10‚ 2012 Abstract. Deforestation has been a global problem for the last century. It is considered to be global as every country is facing it nowadays. Deforestation is caused by chopping trees down‚ in order to produce paper‚ wooden goods‚ to expand territory for building houses and roads. The aim of my project is to give an introduction to the problem of deforestation. In my essay I am going to explain why it is global issue‚ to talk about some

Deforestation is the elimination of forest and woodland areas on the large scale. Deforestation emerged as a major problem because of large scale losses evident particularly in tropical regions. Evidence of deforestation dates back much further than modern times‚ owing to the fact that deforestation is also a natural process. Uganda is a small African country located in East Africa and is crossed by equator in the south. The location in the equatorial region‚ a number of lakes in the country

Deforestation is a major driver of global warming‚ responsible for up to 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions–more than all the cars‚ trucks‚ planes‚ boats and trains in the world combined. Deforestation doesn’t just threaten our climate‚ it threatens the livelihoods of 1.6 billion people that rely on forests for food and economic activity. Forests

However‚ deforestation activity by irresponsible people has led to imbalanced ecosystem. First of all‚ the effect of deforestation is pollution especially water pollution. This problem occurred when people often cut down the trees illegally. So‚ there are no roots to hold and prevent the soil from fall down. The soil that

Deforestation Mitigation Strategies Tropical rainforests cover approximately thirty percent of the earth’s land area‚ around 2.5 million square miles‚ the size of the lower 48 states‚ despite the fact 80‚000 acres (32‚000) hectares are destroyed per day for economic reasons. Tropical rainforests are biodiversity hotspots. Rainforests are carbon sinks absorbing about half the carbon dioxide humans release into the atmosphere. Continued deforestation will affect the entire world with the ecological

Deforestation has been taking places in every part of the world. Many forests have been cleared out without considering the effect to the world. Deforestation was‚ is and is going to be done with the reason to fulfill human’s need. Forest was used to cover around 50% of the total land in the earth‚ but sadly forest only cover around 30% of the total land. Can we still call earth the green planet if deforestation keeps on happening? I strongly believe that we need to stop deforestation before it is
